Over the past serval years, there has been a dramatic increase in obesity rates in a certain country. one website noted that approximately 14 out of 100 adults country were obese in 1995. what was the percentage of adults who were obese 1995

the direct variation says that:

then the equation is of the form is given by:

            where k is the constant variation.

from the given table:

consider any value of x and m(x)=y

x = 2 and m(x)=y = 3

substitute these value in [1]; we have;

divide both sides by 2 we get;

⇒

check:

put x = -1 and m(x) = -1.5

substitute in the equation:

-1.5 = -1.5                   true

therefore, the function m(x) represents a direct variation

graph of this function as shown below:

function 2 has a greater rate of change than function 1

function 2 has a greater y-intercept than function 1
